Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

With the arrival of the third and fourth waves of monsters, the monsters around Ginkgo Village have become so dense that it makes people's scalps tingle.

Guli was a formidable force. Facing these primary monsters, his blade struck swiftly, one after another. Perhaps due to the weight of his blade, he needed to rest for four seconds after each kill to recover his breath. The monsters on the plains surged forward like a tide. Guli remained calm, maintaining his rhythmic strikes, slashing away with a mechanical, relentless slash, leaving a trail of monster carcasses and scattered gold coins and equipment.

Brook, with his back against the wall, was surrounded by monsters. The monsters pushed towards him desperately, and Brook was also fighting hard, resisting the attacks of the monsters around him.

The monsters in Biqi City had no means of long-range attack. No matter how the monsters outside moved around and squeezed him, he would only be attacked by three monsters.

The ebony sword was swung left and right, and the monsters were killed one by one. The experience value kept increasing; his own blood volume also fluctuated, and the potions in the backpack were constantly consumed.

The level has already reached level 3. After equipping 2 iron bracelets, the current attributes are:

HP 23, MP 13, Taoism 0-1, Attack 4-14, Defense 0-6, Magic Defense 0-2, Magic 0-6, Accuracy 11, Agility 16, Magic Dodge 10%

He had already put on all the basic equipment his master had given him. From then on, if he wanted to upgrade to newer and better equipment, he would have to rely on himself.

As accuracy and attack power increase, it takes an average of 3 swords to kill a scarecrow, while 4 swords are needed to kill a toad monster, a hooked cat, or a rake cat.

In the next two waves of monsters, there were orcs, forest snowmen, poisonous spiders, and even piranhas. Fortunately, the piranhas did not move and did not land around Brook, otherwise, with its 2-square attack range, it would have been troublesome if it had hit Brook.

The monsters were still wandering and crowding angrily, meow~, hiss~, roar~, puff~, sha~, their roars and footsteps intertwined together, but they could not do anything to the fragile human in front of them.

Brook fought tirelessly, his eyes determined and his heart calm. He constantly monitored his health and the number of potions in his backpack. He was truly grateful that Uncle Fu had given him plenty of potions, nearly filling his entire backpack.

Of the monsters currently surrounding him, the inner circles were still dominated by scarecrows and hooked cats. When the second wave of monsters arrived, Brook had lured them to his side as he charged towards the corner. Further out, there were more powerful monsters like orcs, snowmen, and poisonous spiders. They arrived in the third and fourth waves, and now they circled anxiously, as if urging the smaller monsters ahead to circumvent them. Fortunately, these monsters had limited intelligence and attacked instinctively, not cooperating to move out of the way.

Brook began to calculate in his mind: If I were surrounded by half-orc snowmen at my current level, could I withstand three of them? Their attack power was 3-5 points. Taking into account my defense, each monster dealt about 9-1 points of damage to my health each time, or 4 points total for all three. Their accuracy of 5 points gave me a 3% hit rate. So, if I were surrounded by three monsters, the total damage would be about 14 points per second. And low-level wound medicine only restored 8 points of health per second. After some simulations, he realized he couldn't withstand it!

Currently, his health is 23 points. If he is attacked by monsters like the Snowman, he can only hold out for 11 seconds at most. No, not 11 seconds. When his health is only around 10 points, he can be killed by a single attack from the monster, so he can only hold out for 6 seconds at most.

What about rushing out? Using movement to engage the monsters in a mobile war? Monsters are everywhere outside. Rushing out and engaging in guerrilla warfare by moving around is too difficult, and there's always the risk of being surrounded by monsters. Unless you can find more advantageous terrain, one with only two or one empty square around you. But where can you find it in a short time? Even if you have time, it's not certain you'll find it.

Still no use. The most important thing is that we are currently surrounded by monsters and there is no way to break out. There is no possibility of going out to fight guerrilla warfare or trying to find a good place by chance.

I can't bear it, and I can't break through it. What should I do?

Once he kills all the low-attack Rake Cats and Scarecrows around him, the high-attack Orcs and Snowmen will surround him, leaving him with no way out.

Even if you reach level 5 and your health increases to 30, you can only last a few more seconds.

Level up to level 7! At level 7, you can learn healing. With the dual recovery of healing and potions, maybe you can hold on!

Brook's eyes lit up, hope rekindled. He mentally began calculating again: Currently at level 3, with 168/300 experience points, to reach level 7, he'd need—hmm—2032 more experience points. Scarecrow: 12, Rake Cat: 18, Toad: 15. Even if each monster gave 15 experience points per level... he'd still need to kill 144 low-attack monsters to level up.

Brook continued to fight, but his attention shifted to the surrounding monsters. The pressure of battle, survival, and death made his eyes begin to glow red. He opened his eyes wide, and slowly and calmly scanned the monsters surrounding him. Finally, he narrowed his eyes. 44 of them? Not enough!

At this moment, another difficult problem appeared in front of Brook.

Is it just a matter of waiting for Guli's help? But Guli, besides dealing with the monsters near the village entrance, also has to deal with the monsters rushing in from the wilderness. Their numbers are definitely much greater than here, and he probably won't be able to escape. Furthermore, this place is quite a distance from the village entrance, and Guli can't see what's going on here. The monsters are roaring, and even if Brooke wants to shout for help, Guli probably won't be able to hear him.

Or hold out for an hour, waiting for the alien warriors to arrive? Uncle Gu said the wise man would summon alien warriors an hour after the beast tide arrived. Calculating the time, only a little over 10 minutes had passed. That meant another 50 minutes. Was the only way to hold out, relying on potions, without killing the surrounding scarecrows and rake cats, hiding in a corner, getting mauled and hammered by the monsters for 50 minutes? Putting aside the question of whether to be a coward, even if I held out for 50 minutes, the potions would run out, and there wouldn't be enough.

Wait! Don't kill these low-attack monsters? Can we hold on without killing them?

"I understand!" Brooke yelled, startling the village chief inside the house, who thought Brooke was about to collapse.

"May the gods of Marfa bless you~ Brook, you have to work hard~ You must hold on. As long as you succeed, I will definitely give you the best reward!" The village chief prayed silently in his heart.

Brook figured out the key to the problem and quickened his sword swinging movements. He was full of confidence that he would definitely survive.

Brooke slew the scarecrows, rakes, and cats one after another, his experience points skyrocketing. Brooke reached level 5, with 31 health points. He still had most of his potions in his backpack. The orcs, forest yetis, and poisonous spiders were closing in. They could smell the sweat of this human, and they hated it. They wanted to tear him apart.

Finally, the hooked cats in the innermost circle surrounding Brook were slain. An orc filled the empty spot, excitedly raising his club and smashing it down on Brook, knocking off six points of his health with a single blow. Brook immediately struck back. The two sides exchanged blows for eight rounds, before the orc, with a resigned "Ouch!", collapsed. During those eight rounds, Brook was hit three times by the orc, losing 6 points of health. Of course, the other two nearby monsters also dealt a combined total of only five points of damage to Brook, as they were mere scarecrows with low damage.

Over eight rounds, Brook lost a total of 8 HP. During the battle, however, Brook drank a Primary Golden Wound Potion, which restored 21 HP in four seconds. Brook held on.

Then a forest yeti filled the orc's vacant spot. Not only did the yeti boast high defense and health, but it also boasted a whopping 7-10 attack points. It raised its powerful palm and slammed Brook's head. After 12 rounds of fighting, the yeti failed to crush Brook, collapsing with a groan. Over those 12 rounds, the yeti dealt him a total of 42 points of damage. Adding the 2 points of damage from the two scarecrows, Brook needed to consume nearly three potions in a row to survive. The yeti was indeed formidable, but Brook withstood.

The orcs, snowmen, and poisonous spiders behind them roared angrily. They'd already surrounded this human, so why couldn't they kill him? Damn scarecrow, get out of the way! Let us in.

The scarecrow ignored them and continued to attack the human in front of them. Who were they looking down on? We are also monsters, and we are also working hard.

Brook completely withstood the monster's attacks. Even the poisonous spiders only managed to dye Brook green, poisoning him for 1 minute and deducting 2.5 HP every 1 seconds. That was all.

So, with the support of the potion, Brook took two scarecrow babies to kill the orcs and snowmen one by one. Although the two scarecrow babies were not very obedient and kept tickling him, Brook still loved them very much.

After killing over 20 orcs, snowmen, and poisonous spiders, the surrounding monsters were finally cleared. Brooke's level also reached 6, with 35 health points. There were still 15 bundles of potions left. (One bundle contained 6 bottles of potion)

After killing so many monsters, six items dropped from the ground: some gold coins, four bottles of Golden Wound Medicine, and two bottles of Mana Potions. While the drop rate wasn't high, only about one item dropped for every ten monsters, the more he killed, the more he'd gain. Blue picked up the items, all common equipment, and put them in his backpack.

The two scarecrow babies around him were still alive and well. They kept tickling Brooke. Such good pets, I couldn't bear to kill them; they were still useful.

Although the monsters around the village chief's house have been cleared, there are still many monsters in the entire village.

Brook ran towards the monsters. He planned to lure the monsters over in groups to this corner and quickly destroy them all.

The two scarecrows were slow and could not keep up with Brook's running speed, so they were left behind. After a while, Brook ran out of the scarecrows' sight, and the two scarecrows stood there motionless, looking around in a daze.

Brook kept moving, occasionally stopping to wait for the slower monsters. If they were hit by an attack and half their health was reduced, he would take medicine. Soon, a total of about 30 monsters were attracted by Brook, including scarecrows, snowmen, cats with rakes, orcs, toad monsters, poisonous spiders, etc., mixed together and followed Brook.

Brook came to the corner of the village chief's house. The two scarecrows that were originally thrown away immediately found Brook and pounced on him, welcoming their owner like pets. They continued to attack Brook excitedly, but it was like tickling him, making Brook laugh. What a good baby.

He brought the two scarecrows back to the corner. The monsters looked at Brook in the corner, watching their prey being surrounded, and walked around excitedly, unaware that they were the real prey to be hunted.

Brook stood in the corner, raised his ebony sword, and started killing.

After clearing out over 30 monsters, Brooke was still at level 6, with 680/900 experience points. He was about to level up.

After picking up the gold coins, potions and low-level equipment on the ground, continue to lure monsters.

More than 30 monsters were lured over, and they were killed in the same way. This was equivalent to reaching level 7.

Brook pulled out the "Healing Technique" from his backpack and immediately learned it. The skill book then vanished. "Why did it disappear?" Brook thought, thinking that the skill book was made of magic, and would automatically disappear once it was learned.

Finally learned a skill. My health is full now, so using healing spells isn't working. I need to find a monster to try it on.

Brook set his sights on a lone Piranha Plant not far away. It had previously attracted monsters past it, and it had suddenly jumped out to scare people. He decided to use it as a test.

The Piranha Plant's attack range is 6-9, and its attack range is 2 squares. When Brook walked into its attack range, the Piranha Plant immediately swung its two vine arms, slapping Brook with a loud bang, knocking off 2 health points. Brook didn't move, and waited for it to attack again. Another hit, 6 health points, and continued to stand still. The third hit knocked off 7 health points.

Brook retreated. This Piranha Plant's accuracy was 12 points, even higher than his. Currently down 20 health points, try healing.
